This bed changed the way we sleep. It’s supportive for both of us but also just cozy. You sink in just the right amount. And it’s quiet—we don’t disrupt each other if we move or get up. We love our Cocoon. It’s been perfect for us. It was crazy getting the Cocoon, especially because as you unpack it, you quickly realize it’s such a substantial and high-quality mattress. We were a little blown away. Getting married to (my husband) Dan, and moving into a new place, it’s been really fun to bring our things together. Our bedroom has a little bit of both of us. Every piece in the bedroom has a story. And there’s nothing like a cozy bed to get into at the end of the day. Videographer and TV/Web Creator For me, it’s really important to have a choice because it can be very hard to find the right mattress. I chose ‘firm’ because I think it’s better for my back and allows me to stay still at night. When I first got it, it just felt well made. I guess when you’re making something for over 100 years, you figure out how to make it right.
I’m very much a minimalist, so when it comes to the place that I lay my head, I like to keep it as simple as possible. The bed and a sleep schedule are the most important things for me. But the art, photos, paintings that I keep around are reminders of how important it is to constantly be creating. Interior Designer, Crowell + Co. Interiors I’m a very aesthetic person, so when we got our Cocoon I immediately noticed the clean lines and beautiful design. I love the stitching. It’s the first time in my life I’ve thought ‘oh my God, this mattress is beautiful .’ But it’s also just amazingly comfortable. I LOVE our bed. My life is so busy and scheduled—I’m running around all day long. My bed is my favorite place on the planet because it’s the one place where I can be peaceful and calm. Nothing makes me happier than curling up in my bed and reading a book. But it’s also where we spend lazy Sundays when we have a family ‘cuddle puddle’—in pajamas all day, watching movies and just being together.
That’s my favorite thing! Matt & Carrie Eddmenson Founders of imogene + willie Our first impression was 'how can something of this quality come in a box?' But they've mastered it. They’ve figured it out. Getting the bed was just as momentous as sleeping on it. You open it up, and it’s almost shocking. It’s top of the line. Anyone can put a mattress in a box. But Sealy knows how to make a mattress, whether it comes to you in a box or not. We loved our old mattress, and we consider ourselves “mattress connoisseurs.” I’m telling you, Cocoon is a really, really good bed. Matt coined our bed the “clubhouse of comfort.” We spend a lot of time in our bedroom—I think more time than most It’s age old…your bedroom is your room. It’s a safe place, a place to be yourself. For us, it’s a hodgepodge collective of all the things we’re in love with.I received a free Cocoon mattress for review from Tempur Sealy. The Cocoon mattress is a mattress in a box made by Sealy.
Sealy has been in the mattress industry since 1881 when the founder, from Sealy Texas began compressing cotton for use in mattresses. The company is now known at Tempur Sealy as the Tempurpedic purchased Sealy in 2012 making them the largest manufacturer of mattresses in the world. The Cocoon mattress has been featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things list for 2016. Getting this endorsement from Oprah is a big accomplishment that should garner some recognition for the new brand. Many of the newer online startups were created as a response to some of the offerings and business models that the traditional brands offered. I was eager to find out if Tempur Sealy would be able to compete with these brands through the Cocoon. You can order a Cocoon mattress in two different levels of firmness direction through their website. You get free shipping with an estimate on when your mattress should arrive and it comes with a 100 night trial period. They even list 24/7 support which is something I have never seen before.
The mattress arrives in a black box which gives it a sophisticated look and you can easily transport it to any room in your house to unbox. Below is a picture of the inside of the box upon opening. You get a fun picture in a frame: Below is a video of me unboxing the Cocoon mattress. I noticed this mattress took a little bit longer to come to form than other boxed mattresses. I think this is in part because the top layer of foam is a bit denser than others. The Cocoon comes in 2 levels of firmness, a firm and a soft. According to their website, the cover is made of a stretch-knit fabric with spun poly fibers to make it breathable. They don’t list specific densities of their foams but the soft has 3 layers of foam while the firm has 2 layers. I was able to compare both the soft and firm versions of this mattress. Which allowed me to do comparisons to help you decide which is best for you. Here’s a picture illustrating sink in the soft version: Here’s a picture of the firm version:
To get a sense of how they are constructed, I peeked under the cover of the mattress to show you how each layer reacts. Here’s the soft Cocoon which has 3 layers: Below is a video of the firm version which has two layers. As far as heat retention goes, I didn’t notice much difference between the two levels of firmness. Below is a video shot with my infrared camera to illustrate heat retention: This is the soft version: Cocoon recently launched the Cocoon Chill mattress with a phase change cover below is a video showing heat retention on the Cocoon Chill mattress: Finally below are some videos of me dropping a bowling ball on the mattresses to illustrate motion transfer. Again, there’s really not much difference between the two as the top layer seems to be the same which is what is absorbing most of the motion. Here’s the soft version: Here is the soft version in slow motion: Compare that with the Firm Version What I like best about the Cocoon mattress is the top layer.
It is a very soft layer that conforms well and provides great pressure relief. Between the two, I liked the soft version the best. I really like to sink into my mattress and feel like it’s cradling every part of my body which this mattress does. I don’t think this mattress would be well suited towards heavier people. I think a heaver set couple might find the base layer not substantial enough when first getting in the mattress. However, once lying down it should be just fine. tly when you use coupon code Sherpa100 at checkout. Learn More About the Cocoon and why it is exploding in popularity You can also buy the Cocoon on Amazon for the same price but without having to use the discount code. Just note that the return process may be a little more difficult because Amazon has a standard 30 day trial period vs. the 100 day trial period offered direct through Cocoon with free returns. In this case I would advise buying direct from Cocoon.Try the Cocoon mattress at the Sleep Sherpa Showroom
